The first half of the prologue is up now, no Tavi so far though

http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/alera/6/

They are going to post through chapter 5.

 

So its comfirmed that its still the queen that that Tavi unleashed in the Wax Forest. Yeah we have pretty much know since the 2nd book but was it ever actually said that it was that specific queen?

Varg is damn right in thinking hes gonna need the ritualist. Cover the skys in the clouds like they did when Sarl came and give knights Aeris pieces of bloodstone to protect them. Go to town on the basterds.

 

I'm struggling to find a source for this in the UK?

 

I ship Tavi/Vord Queen.

 

I'm not sure what you mean. But I can see the prologue just fine.

 

Book, someone answered it in another thread.

 

Was anyone else confused by the use of "Princeps" and "First lord" in the prologue? Jim seemed to switch them out randomly

I know he was adopted by Gaius, making him Princeps, but now he's taken over the position, shouldn't he now be First Lord and not Princeps?

In any case... the constant changing from First Lord to Princeps confused me at first.

 

Jim explained about it in his Forum,

When Tavi returns, he'll be the rightful First Lord of Alera and the final battle will be in Calderon Valley. Amazon.com summary clearly states that.

 

So its basically confirmed then that Tavi gets huge badass furies? idk whether or not that is a good thing

 

The Vord Queen reminds me of the King Chimera Ant from the Hunter x Hunter manga...

 

I remember seeing that mentioned awhile back on the forums over there and the beta readers basically saying "UH WTF???". So I dunno if thats right or not.

 

IIRC the children of the sun were plant people or something? And they had a woodcrafting type ability when in the jungles. It took the legions like a hundred years to kill them off.

I think it was mentioned in the forums, although, It's very likely that I'm confusing a different series with the codex alera

 

That sounds right. If memory serves, they're mentioned in either Academ's or Captain's, along with all the other enemies the legions have defeated. That's the only mention of them in the entire series until now though, and I don't think there's any details.

 

They are mentioned in Princeps when Sextus is talking to Isana and Aria about why he needs the northern legions.

 

Oh, please. Invidia/Vord Queen. The One True Pairing.

 

I don't think it's been outright explained yet. No one but those four know of the events in the Wax Forest, or at least, no one's been told of them in the books.


And the Canim word for "respected enemy" is gadarra.

 

They are speaking in their language already arent they? Its no different from when authors have characters speaking french but its written in english. We dont know what they are specifically saying but we know what they are saying.


Edit.

Well its now obvious where the power in the Amazon.com summary comes from. He hasnt been able to do shit with furycraft till now but thats all changing.

Kitai is pissed. Thought that it was funny if not really necessary.
